Is being a mortgage broker a stressful job?

No official measure rates job stress for mortgage brokers, but survey data on the role points to real pressure. O*NET survey responses for loan officers show 45% face time pressure every day and 51% work more than 40 hours per week. Brokers also operate independently and must source their own clients and lender relationships, which carries more business risk than a salaried role at a bank or credit union.
